Add a Root CA

These steps describe how to add a root certificate authority (CA) public certificate to the list of trusted scanners for Nessus.

Steps

  1. If your certificate is in PEM format, save the certificate as a text file.

    Tip: You can save more than one certificate in a single text file.

  2. Rename the file custom_CA.inc.

  3. Move the file to your plugins directory:

    /opt/nessus/lib/nessus/plugins

    C:\ProgramData\Tenable\Nessus\nessus\plugins

    /Library/Nessus/run/lib/nessus/plugins

    The CA is available for use in Nessus.
